The Best Security Stickers of 2019

Table of Contents

Whether you have a home security system in place or you’re looking for a quick and affordable way to prevent intrusions, security stickers are always a good idea. Displayed on your doors and windows, they show your burglar that maybe robbing your house isn’t such a bright idea. Personally, I think they’re useful whether you have a security system from the company on the sticker, whether you have a security system from a different company, or even if you don’t have one at all (although I highly recommend that you do). Let’s get started with 2019’s top security stickers.

CCTV Security Door and Window Stickers

Burglars will stop in their tracks at these bright stickers, which say that the area is surveilled 24/7.

Out of all the security stickers on this list, this package from CCTV Security is by far the most threatening and serious, in my opinion. Plus, they’re made out of vinyl, so they won’t fall off no matter if it rains, snows or shines.

Pros: One package comes with eight stickers, which is press generous. The price per sticker is relatively low. Plus, I think the red is super eye-catching, despite the fact that the sticker is only a few inches wide.

Cons: You can only stick these CCTV Security stickers on the outside of doors and windows as they are not double-sided.

ADT Window Sticker Decal

If you live in the United States, then you’ve definitely heard of ADT, probably the most recognizable home security brand around. Their weatherproof stickers are a perfect way to show that you’ve protected your house, whether you have a security system from ADT or not.

Pros: These stickers are the only ones I’ve seen that are double-sided, meaning you can put them on the inside or the outside of the window. That is super convenient, along with the fact that the decals are made of a weatherproof material. One pack from ADT includes eight stickers, which should be sufficient for your home unless you live in a mansion!

Kangaroo Window Decals

Kangaroo Window Decals

Out of all the stickers on this list, this one is my favorite in terms of aesthetics. In general, I’m a fan of Kangaroo, a recent security startup that offers affordable yet effective home security sensors.

Pros: At nearly four inches across, this sticker is larger than many of the other ones that I’ve reviewed. Their package comes with five stickers, which should cover most of your downstairs doors and windows. As a company, I’m a fan of Kangaroo in general, which offers optional 24/7 professional monitoring for low monthly and yearly prices. Basically, a sticker from Kangaroo shows that you’ve done your home security research!

Cons: These stickers are very expensive when compared to their competitors, costing about three times as much in some cases!

Scout Window Sticker

Scout Window Sticker

Have you heard of Scout Alarm? They started in 2013 from a Kickstarter campaign and are now one of the top security companies out there, which is why a sticker from Scout Alarm is so meaningful.

Pros: This affordablesticker is available on the Scout website with or without a system, although I highly recommend you buy one if you don’t already have one. The sticker itself is simple enough to not be an eyesore, but eye-catching enough for potential burglars to see it. Along with the sticker, I recommend purchasing some more Scout accessories like their yard sign for increased visibility.

Cons: Scout is one of the newer security companies around, so it doesn’t have the brand recognition of something like ADT.

SimpliSafe Window Decals

SimpliSafe Window Decals

Sold in packets of five, these weatherproof stickers are perfect for letting people know your home is protected by SimpliSafe‚ even if it isn’t. SimpliSafe, which offers 24/7 professional monitoring along with cellular backup, is one of Security Baron’s picks for the best home security systems of 2019, so burglars will think twice before choosing your home.

Pros: These stickers are made of a weatherproof vinyl, ideal for putting on your windows. Each pack contains five stickers, which should be enough for your home. Plus, the price per sticker is low, making this an affordable way to up your home’s security.

Cons: At only three inches across, these stickers from SimpliSafe are a bit hard to see, depending on where you’re standing.

Security Sticker Methodology

When shopping for a security sticker, here are some key factors to look for:

Size: Most security stickers are only a few inches length and height-wise, although in my opinion, the bigger the better.

Color: I prefer security stickers to be in eye-catching colors like red or yellow to ensure that the burglar takes notes.

Material: Security stickers should be made out of a weatherproof material like vinyl, especially if they’re only sticky on the backside.

Price: On average, security stickers cost about a dollar per sticker and are often sold in packs of five or eight. I would count your doors and windows to decide how many security stickers you need before making your purchase.

Adhesiveness: Unfortunately, most security stickers are only sticky on the backside, forcing you to place them on the outside of a door or window. I wish all stickers were double-sided so you can choose either indoors or out!

Security Sticker Tips

Okay, so you’ve got your perfect security stickers to prevent your house. What are some best practices for using them? Well, to name a few tips:

Clean: Before you place the security sticker on a door or window, be sure to clean the area thoroughly. If it’s dirty, it could prevent the sticker from, well, sticking.

Avoid sunlight: If you can, try not to put your stickers directly where the sun hits, as this will make them fade over time.

Don’t put them on your laptop: Having stickers on your laptop is a good way to express your love for a rock band or your predilection to the Democrat party, but leave your security stickers out of it. They’re useful for guarding your home, not your computer!
